Almost every culture in the world has held celebrations of thanks for a plentiful harvest. The American Thanksgiving holiday began as a feast of thanksgiving in the early days of the American colonies almost four hundred years ago.
In 1620 ,a boat filled with more than one hundred people sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to settle in the New World. This religious group had begun to question the beliefs of the Church of England and they wanted to separate from it. The Pilgrims settled in what is now the state of Massachusetts. Their first winter in the New World was difficult. They had arrived too late to grow any crops, and without fresh food, half the colonists died of disease. The following spring the Iroquois Indians taught them how to grow corn (maize), a new food for the colonists. They showed them other crops to grow in the unfamiliar soil and how to hunt and fish.
In the autumn of 1621, bountiful crops of corn, barley, beans and pumpkins were harvested.The colonists had much to be thankful for, so a feast was planned. They invited the local Indian chief and ninety Indians. The Indians brought deer to roast with the turkeys and other wild game offered by the colonists. The colonists learned how to cook cranberries and different kinds of corn and squash dishes from the Indians. To this first Thanksgiving, the Indians had even brought popcorn.
In the following years, many of the original colonists celebrated the autumn harvest with a feast of thanks. After the United States became an independent country, Congress recommended one yearly day of thanksgiving for the whole nation to celebrate. George Washington suggested the date November 26 as Thanksgiving Day. Then in 1863, at the end of a long and bloody civil war, Abraham Lincoln asked all Americans to set aside the last Thursday in November as a day of thanksgiving.

A federal program in the United States called Reading First has received one billion dollars
a year for the past several years. The money has gone to school systems to get them to use scientifically based ways to teach reading. The goal is to help all children read at or above grade level by the end of the third grade.
The Bush administration’s education law, the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, established Reading First. Now, the Department of Education has released findings from a study of the program.
On average, teachers using it increased the time they taught reading skills like phonics and vocabulary. But the study also found, on average, little or no effect on test scores in reading comprehension.
Government researchers say they are not sure how to explain the results.
Another new report listed the books read most often last year by students in American schools. The Renaissance Learning company based the report on its reading programs used in many schools. Students read books and then took computer quizzes to see if they understood them. There are tests for more than one hundred fifteen thousand books.
The book read most often by first graders was “Green Eggs and Ham” by Doctor Seuss. In the fourth grade the top book was, not surprisingly, “Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing” by Judy Blume. 1. How much money has been used to support the Reading Program each year for the past seven
years?
A. One billion dollars.

C. Two billion dollars.
D. Three billion dollars.

Watching TV is a very popular pastime in the UK, but what kind of programs do British people like to watch? Well, the most-watched TV programs every week are very popular dramas that are usually on at least four times every week. They are dramas based on one neighborhood that try to depict ordinary life in the UK-we call these dramas “soap operas” or “soaps”.
In the early days of TV, there were often dramas on during the day. Back in those days, it was traditional for the husband to go out to work and for the wife to stay home and look after the house and the children. Most of these daytime dramas were aimed at entertaining the housewives who would traditionally be at home, probably doing the washing. Companies selling washing power would advertise their products at times when these dramas were on, and sometimes those companies would even sponsor the drama. Hence the word “soap” came into use.
So what about the word “opera”? Well, that’s because these dramas are often an exaggeration of real life. They are supposed to represent ordinary lives but to make them entertaining, lots of dramatic events regularly than they would in a normal neighborhood.
Most soap operas these days are shown in the evening. Each show will have several different storylines happening at once that continue over several shows. The same cast members will appear in every show too.

Andrew Carnegie, known as the King of Steel, built the steel industry in the United States, and , in the process. Became one of the wealthiest men in America.
His success resulted in part from his ability to sell the product and in part from his policy of expanding during periods of economic decline, when most of his competitors were reducing their investments. Carnegie believed that individuals should progress through hard work, but he also felt strongly tht the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society, he opposed charity, preferring instead to provide educational opportunities that would allow others to help themselves. "He who dies rich, dies disgraced," he often said.
Among his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name, including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, which has a library , a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. He also founded a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University. Other philanthropic gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to promote
understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to fund scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.

As the legends would have it, the Olympic Games, one of the world largest and grandest international multi-sporting event, was founded by Heracles, the son of Zeus, Zeus was considered one of the most important Olympic gods apart from Athena and Apollo. The Olympic Games were closely related to religion and religious festivals of the cult of Zeus promoting a secular spirit, energy and accomplishment of the youth and good relations between the cities of Greece. According to legends, Heracles first called the game “Olympic”, and established the custom of holding them every four years.
Written records suggest that the first Olympic Games were held in 776 BC. At this game a nude runner Coroebus, won the 192 meters race to become the first Olympic champion. The games were held in Olympia located in the western part of the Peloponnese, 145 km west of Athens, Greece, and comprised of only a few events where any male youngster from the various cities of Greece could participate to show off their physical qualities. It comprised of contests of music, sports and literature. The game grew in course of time and was played every four years for nearly 1200 years. The modern Olympic Games came into existence in the late 19th century. Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a French historian restarted Olympics, in 1894 by forming the International Olympic Committee, which is the governing body of the Olympic movement. The first modern Olympic Games were held in 1896, in Athens, Greece. “Faster, Higher, Stronger” is the point in life rather than gaining first position. The five colored rings on a white base form the Olympic flag. The intertwined rings represent the unity amongst the five continents. Nowadays, it takes place every four years.
The Games have grown in scale to the point that nearly every nation on the earth is represented at a celebration of the Games.

An artist who had painted many pictures of great beauty found that he had not yet painted the one “real” picture.
In his search along a dusty road, he met an aged priest who asked him were he was going. “I do not know,” said the artist,“I want to paint the most beautiful thing in the world. Perhaps you can direct me to it.”
“How simple,” replied the priest, “in any church or creed, you will find it—‘Faith’is the most bea utiful thing in the world.”
The artist traveled on. Later, he met a young bride who told him that the most beautiful thing in the world is “Love”. “Love” makes the world go round. It builds poverty into riches, sweetens tears and makes much of little. Without love there is no beauty.
Still the artist continued his search and met a weary soldier. The artist asked him the same question and the soldier answered, “‘Peace is the most beautiful thing in the world. War is ugly and wherever you find peace you’ll find beauty, faith and love.”
“How can I paint them —Faith, Love and Peace?” thought the artist. As he resumed his walk, his mind wondered on the “real” picture he hoped to paint. He was surprised that without thinking where he was going, he had reached his familiar surroundings. As he entered the doorway, light glistened in his eyes and he realized that his research was over.
In the faces of his wife and children, he saw Love and Faith. “Not a minute passed by that our children and I had not thought of you. We prayed that you would return to us safely,” his wife said as they embraced him. He sat on his favorite old chair and his heart was at peace.
The artist painted the most beautiful thing in the world and called it “Home”.

You will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and decide whether each of the statements is true or false, or that the information is not given in the passage. Then mark the answer on the Answer Sheet. Renewable Energy How does energy use affect the environment? All forms of electricity generation have some level of environmental impact. However, clean energy technologies, including renewable energy and combined heat and power, have fewer impacts than other sources of electricity generation. To learn about the environmental impacts of electricity generation technologies, click on an energy source below. How clean is the electricity I use? In the United States, electricity is generated in many different ways, with a wide variation in environmental impact. Traditional methods of electricity production contribute to air quality problems and the risk of global climate change. With the advent of electric customer choice, many electricity customers can now choose the source of their electricity. In fact, you might now have the option of choosing cleaner, more environmentally friendly sources of energy. How can I make a difference? The energy decisions we make every day can encourage the development of new power sources, save natural resources, and help ensure that the quality of our environment is preserved. In many parts of the country, consumers now have the opportunity to choose the source of the power that is delivered to their home or business—including energy derived from renewable sources. "Renewable energy" generally refers to electricity supplied from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power (energy supplied by the sun), geothermal (energy created from the extreme heat contained in liquid rock—called magma（岩浆）—within the Earth's core), hydropower (energy derived from the movement of water as it flows downstream), and various forms of biomass (fuel from sources such as trees, wood and agricultural wastes and fuel crops). These energy sources are considered renewable because they are continuously replenished on the Earth. In addition, mobile sources of air pollution—such as cars, trucks, trains and lawnmowers—also contribute to air pollution nationwide and are an important source of air pollution in many urban areas. Hydrogen Energy Using hydrogen energy could help address many concerns facing our nation and our world. We believe hydrogen can contribute to resolving these issues for these reasons:
